We divide 540496 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 540496 can be divided by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 43

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 43 away from 54, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 110 / 43

Step 3:
If we divide 110 by 43, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 86 from 110.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 43

Step 4:
244 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 29.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we subtract 215 from 244, we get 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
43 goes into 299 6 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1256.0
Deduct 258 from 299 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 416 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
416 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12569.0
Deduct 387 from 416 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12569.6
If we subtract 258 from 290, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12569.67
Deduct 301 from 320 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
43 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12569.674
Subtract 172 from 190 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
43 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12569.6744
Deduct 172 from 180 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12569.6744 with a remaining 8e-05.
